I have 2 64 lb bottles in my garage and 3 10lb bottles in the freezer. yeah I am addicted. all kidding aside it is nice to be able to fill your own bottles and a lot cheaper as well.
I use to fill my own bottles but would not say it's cheaper (or atleast in my car). On a 50# cylinder I would only get 35#'s because i didn't have a pump or a gravity fill stand. So I alwyas had 15#'s that I paid for that I didn't use. Add in the delivery charges, bottle rental and hazmat fees and I was paying $4.12/lb for those 35#'s. But it was convenient!

And for the OP, .035" is fine on the street.
I am paying like 3.25 a lb and pick my own tanks up, I end up losing about 5 lbs or less when returning them even with that its still cheaper then going to the local shop for a fill. pay a one time rental fee.your right the best part is its convenient.

I actually found another place that a friend use to work at, he said I may be able to get a cylinder of gas for $85, if so I'll open up an account with them.
